Broad categories have been suggested for the events which contribute to happiness. In 1943 Maslow might have argued that people are happy when they meet or continue to meet their basic needs in his hierarchy of needs. A survey was given to 150 college students to assess which of Maslow's levels of need is perceived to be most important to happiness. Falling or staying in love was chosen significantly more often than the other choices by undergraduates of both genders. These results suggest that love is considered to be an extremely important contributor to the feeling of happiness among college students.
对于促成幸福的事件，人们提出了一些宽泛的类别。1943年，马斯洛可能会认为，当人们在他的需求层次理论中满足或持续满足其基本需求时，他们就是幸福的。一项针对150名大学生的调查，旨在评估马斯洛需求层次中的哪一层需求被认为对幸福最为重要。在两个性别的本科生中，坠入爱河或维持恋爱关系被选中的频率明显高于其他选项。这些结果表明，爱情被认为是大学生幸福感的一个极其重要的促成因素。
